Son of Hulk makes prison plea

Wrestler Hulk Hogan’s 17-year-old son has asked a judge to change his jail sentence.

Nick Bollea is serving an eight-month term after pleading no contest to causing a crash that seriously injured his best friend.

But he is being held in solitary confinement at the Pinellas County Jail’s medical ward because he is too young to join the jail’s general population.

Lawyer Kevin Hayslett has filed a motion asking for a different sentence.

Mr Hayslett said that he plans to ask a judge to place Bollea under house arrest until his 18th birthday on July 27.

Nick Bollea appeared in the reality TV show Hogan Knows Best, alongside his famous father Hulk Hogan – whose real name is Terry Bollea – his mother Linda and his older sister Brooke. The show, which centres around the family’s life, premiered in 2005.
